A son struggles to make sense of the life she left behind. Set against the stark northern Alberta of the 1980s and 90s, \u003cem\u003eWho Else in the Dark Headed There\u003c\/em\u003e follows a man reaching through time to find the child he was and the father he is becoming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeneath this waking world is another world, of the overheard, of the unsaid. To enter is to find a lyricism finely wrought and hallucinatory, a depth of feeling and fidelity to metaphor in all its guises—but most of all an urgent relationship with language. Here, in a reconstruction of childhood’s rooms, Garth Martens approaches the past not as a record but as a pressure, a “muscled concentration” that reorders, resuscitates, and redoubts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Biblioasis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56408764088664,"sku":"9781771967082","price":17.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781771967082.jpg?v=1779516962","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/who-else-in-the-dark-headed-there","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
